Notes
Baseline uses 30–40 mL per kg as a practical range. Many people land near 35 mL per kg.
For exercise we add about 8 oz per 30 minutes of light activity, 12 oz for moderate, and 16 oz for intense.
Hot or humid weather increases needs. Listen to thirst and adjust.
If you have kidney, heart, or other medical conditions, ask a clinician for personal guidance.
